The Madras High Court on Wednesday stayed a money laundering case registered by Enforcement Directorate (ED) against Fisheries Minister Anitha R. Radhakrishnan in December 2020 on the basis of a disproportionate assets case booked by the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) in 2006.
Fourth Division Bench of Justices Paresh Upadhyay and A.D. Jagadish Chandira granted the interim stay of the Enforcement Case Information Report (ECIR) till July 14 since advocate N. Ramesh, representing the ED, sought time to file a detailed counter affidavit to the quash petition preferred by the Minister.
